■
General
●
Do not use oil, solvents, gasoline, paint thinners or
insecticides on the unit.
●
Do not expose the unit to moisture, to temperatures
higher than 140
o
F (60
o
C) or to extreme low temperatures.
●
Keep the unit away from direct sunlight, strong magnetic
fields, excessive dust, humidity and electronic/electrical
equipment (home computers, facsimiles, etc.) which
generates electrical noise.
●
Hold the AC power plug by the head when removing it
from the AC outlet, since pulling the cord can damage
internal wires.
●
Never open the cabinet. If a foreign object drops into the
set, contact your dealer.
●
Use the unit on a firm, level surface free from vibration,
and do not place anything on the top of the unit.

If the unit malfunctions while in use, press the POWER
button to turn the power off, then disconnect the AC
power cord from the AC outlet. Plug the AC power cord
back in, and then press the POWER button to turn the
power on.
●
If a lightning storm is taking place near you, it is
suggested that you disconnect the AC power cord from
the AC outlet for safety.
●
Before moving the unit, be sure to remove all CDs and
MDs from the unit. Then, turn the power off and unplug
the AC power cord.
If you move the unit with CDs or MDs left in it, they may
jam inside the unit, leading to damage.
Warning:
The voltage used must be the same as that specified on
this unit. Using this product with a higher voltage than that
which is specified is dangerous and may result in a fire or
other type of accident causing damage. SHARP will not be
held responsible for any damage resulting from use of this
unit with a voltage other than that which is specified.
■
Installation location
Do not install the unit in the following places.
Otherwise, it may cause unit malfunctions or accidents.
●
Places exposed to vibration.
●
Places exposed to direct sunlight for many hours.
●
Places where temperatures are excessively high or low.
●
Places exposed to high humidity.
●
Places exposed to excessive dust.
●
Poorly ventilated places.
●
Places exposed to water, for example, a bathroom.
●
Places near objects which generate magnetism or electric
noise.
■
Condensation
Sudden temperature changes, storage or operation in an ex-
tremely humid environment may cause condensation inside
the cabinet (CD pickup, MD pickup, etc.) or on the transmitter
window on the remote control.
Condensation can cause the unit to malfunction.
If this happens, leave the power on with no disc in the unit
until normal playback is possible (about 1 hour) or wipe off
any condensation on the transmitter window with a soft cloth
before operating the unit.
■
Care of compact discs
Compact discs are fairly resistant to damage, however
mistracking can occur due to an accumulation of dirt on the
disc surface.
Follow the guidelines below for maximum enjoyment from
your CD collection and player.
●
Do not write on either side of the disc, particularly the
non-label side. Signals are read from the non-label side.
Do not mark this surface.
●
Keep your discs away from direct sunlight, heat, and
excessive moisture.
●
Always hold the CDs by the edges. Fingerprints, dirt, or
water on the CDs can cause noise or mistracking. If a
CD is dirty or does not play properly, clean it with a soft,
dry cloth, wiping straight out from the center, along the
radius.
